I've really been enjoying these video's, the best of all the Philippine vlogs, for sure! I'm amazed at how quickly you have installed all the sustainable tech, the electric & hot water and have wondered if you're just a natural at it or if you had to study a lot ahead of time. BTW, most people (including myself) have seen aerial phenomenon at one time or another, objects that defy the technology available at the time. Most just don't want to admit it, I suspect. What I really find most intriguing is that you woke up at the perfect time to observe it. I think people like that are really special.
Hey Texas I saw the same lights here about 10 minutes from Dumaguete last night not drowns too fast just balls of light going through the clouds. Also no clouds with stars for the background.
The lights maybe related to the drone sighting in the US? Not to point a finger but, where are most drones made? (DJI, the Chinese tech giant, is currently the top drone manufacturer with 74.3% market share)
I live up in the northern part of the Philippines and just over a year ago there was a weird light spinning above the house that I’m living in with no sound and I even had enough time to record it and take pictures. I still have the video on my phone and even sent it to my family back in the US. Someone else must have seen it because someone was shinning a high power light at it. I’m retired from the U.S. Coast Guard after serving 22 years and I’ve never seen anything like this.
We're going to leave from LAX on Monday December 23rd at 10:40am with a layover in Taipei. We arrive in NAIA at 10:50pm on Christmas Eve and we have about an hour drive after we get out of the airport. This will be my first time travelling during the Christmas rush. I wanted to leave earlier in December but my wife wanted to wait until almost Christmas because she wasn't sure when her mother was going to have her interview to become a US citizen. Then we went to the Philippine Consulate so that she can get her Filipino citizenship back. Now my wife and mother in Law are both dual citizens. I'll be glad to get the trip over and be in the Philippines.
When you told your story about what you saw in the night sky....I held my breath for a moment and said "holy ship!' We hear about all the drone sightings on the East coast and a few reports of scattered sightings on the West coast etc. I've never heard any reports of this going on in other countries around the world. Kinda puts a new spin on this conspiracy. We are being fed that it could be China, Iran, Russia etc. I wonder what the news outlets in those countries are telling their citizens? Very cool, thanks for sharing your experience James!!
Philippines is a hot bed for invasion because it's rich in mineral resources, very strategic location and it's a beautiful paradise. But they won't be successful because, like the Hebrews said, the Philippines is the Land of God. It's where he comes back to judge the living and the dead. Japan had tried to invade the Philippines. Spain and USA did too but unsuccessful.
I had similar doors screen doors made. The pneumatic closures didn’t last long. Ordered some better ones on Amazon…working fine now. The installers just shrugged there shoulders and said “made in china” when I questioned the cheap pistons.
We get those here in America, they are all over New Jersey and New York. The government is saying they are just drones. But eye-witnesses say they have seen them come out of the ocean.
It's a bit scary for sure not knowing what is going on with those drones. 🤞🙏 Hopefully nothing too negative will come of it. Advanced Merry Christmas to you and Melinda and all of your family there as well. 🎄🎉☃️🎁 We're in Texas now btw spending X-Mas with our two children who have settled here.
I've had my own UFO experience which I am sure was not drones. I was skeptical about things before then, but all these comments like "they were satellites" "they were planes, or meteor showers" etc. drive me nuts. As if you hadn't seen all these things before. I think military drones is a good possibility for what you are describing but if they are orbs, then it is something different. If they are quiet, they are something different.
not drones , mega fast and change directions fast at incredible speeds. No flashing lights like the NJ thing. Just light balls going every direction at different heights everywhere you look. Last I knew satellites don't change direction on a dime or fly below clouds. Meteors also don't change directions. No tails or streaks from burning up. Multiple witnesses seeing it just here alone. I shake my head at people trying to tell us what we saw. LOL.
What a good video. It has been a while since I have caught a video....I think you were preparing to sell your property here in Texas. So glad your house is done too. Good to see you and have a great and Merry Christmas!
Hey brother Im from Hooks Texas and I know they smoke some strong stuff there but damn I aint ever heard no stories like this one! So I know it aint that Texas hay so it must be something from Iloilo cause no one here in Mindanao is tripping out. Im moving to your island. hahaha No for real I heard the story from America and they said it was china drones but my brother said it wasn't no damn drone.
It's best to forget what you saw. you may not encounter it ever again. and will never get the answer you seek. for thousands of years they appear to mankind and disappear for a long time again.
hundreds and any and every direction. above and below the clouds moving moving and stopping. No flashing light like that NJ stuff and a glow, no streak , no tail, We all seen it.
@@TexasFilipino No sonic booms? If actually being piloted, they must have a way of not being affected by gravity, g forces ect. Way beyond our present technology and understanding. Not to mention, if they are extraterrestrial. With supposedly, the maximum speed of travel is that of light ( 300k per second). If they have travelled from another solar system, possibly hundreds of years of travel away( at the speed of light!). It would seem they are incredibly long lived or so far beyond our technology, it is beyond our imagination. It is not worth worrying about?! Lol. Just enjoy the show. Seen a few things similar myself( way before satellites ect , were even around! Another great video James. Regards to all. Btw. Finland looks a wonderful place. All forests and lakes( Frozen in winter of course!) and of course the nomadic reindeer herders( tribe called Sami).
@@RogerGarnham: there's this thing about non-locality. Has to do with quantum physics. This is pretty much A proven concept now. Faster than light travel.
I have video while in nueva ecija 4 days ago. Crazy zipping lights. No way its an airplane. Where you are, james, ilo ilo had a massive number. The lights are found on youtube video. Crazy. Its everywhere.
mate your such a down to earth guy. you deserve all the success. Your videos showing the construction are so informative. if your not starting a contracting business (in your wife's name of corse) you really should. you have a team of skilled guys and I'm sure your services will be in demand. keep it up mate 👍
@TexasFilipino I wish I did. Any rough estimate on the quantity? The reason I mention that is because automated drone "wingman" are actively being developed so that a single manned aircraft can control vest numbers of robot aircraft. This is information that's publicly available so I'm not disclosing anything that I shouldn't
I heard something about missing Military equipment from the ukraine and they are scanning for gamma rays with drones around shipping ports. I don't really know how true it is.
Is the float valve a safety valve basically to stop any possible back flow of water ? To maintain line pressure,,,, to avoid a lost prime so to speak !
Some speculation ref the lighrs: Could be manifestations of other dimensions... There are at least 10 dimensions in the universe according to some learned folks... We are aware of 4 in our everyday life, so who knows what else lies out there? We simply can't perceive... It is a bit unsettling... Anyway... That kantine door looks great! Windows nice too, good catch on the solar water heater, bangka getting there... As you say, step by step... On another note... Shame that Mark Thornton has passed... Never want to lose fellow expats... Also... Noted on extended stay, may take you up on that down the road! 👍😎👍
We only saw this in sci-fi movies and now it has become real. I saw a bright white dot circle behind you at 14:02. I am aware that it is not either a star,a drone or a plane. It's possible that it's one of them (UAP/UFO) and it appears to be watching you.
Maybe the lights in the sky was chineese lanterns ,a party or other occasion from a nearby island or another place. It would have been great to see that above you
Ha! I remember when i thought those kites were UFOs! I feel vindicated! 😂 nah. Wish I was there. The heavenlies are getting restless my brother. Never know. Good Lord could be shaking things up.
Has no one mentioned that the lights you saw were likely SpaceX's Starlink satellites? These satellites often appear as a row of glowing dots moving steadily across the night sky, resembling a 'train' of lights. Launched in large clusters, they start out orbiting close together, creating this striking effect. Over time, as they disperse and settle into their designated orbits, they become less visible to the naked eye. On clear nights, many people, myself included, have noticed a peculiar string of bright lights moving together. I thought I was witnessing a UFO invasion-it was so awe-inspiring it nearly scared me to death! But it turned out to be Starlink satellites, part of Elon Musk's ambitious project to provide global internet coverage. Incredible technology-especially when you see it in action. Just a guess, but maybe that’s what you saw too!
I think you saw the Southern Taurid meteor shower hits peak activity this week, didn't see it here because it was overcast. PS, Banca is looking good. Just sayin
What you were seeing were some aircraft mixed in with Starlink satellites. At the time it was dark (1AM) but further east of you there was the gray line of sunrise approaching. Depending on clarity of the atmosphere, cloud cover the sunlight will begin passing over head to your location, all the Starlink satellites will begin to reflect that light as they are in direct sunlight and globally there are thousands of them up there. Any aircraft flying at altitude can also be reflecting sunlight.
So your just gonna tell me what I was seeing without you knowing what I was seeing. Did you know I worked many years of my life in the satellite industry? Do you know I am the first person to enter the Philippines with an starlink satellite before they was ever offered here? I shake my head at how Im told what WE saw.
That's what our overlords have planned. If 'they' could come up with something so threatening, ie, climate change, aliens, etc., the whole world would agree to a one world govt, and take orders from the UN.
Actually I had not hardly recorded anything lately. The videos if you didn't notice just skipped from weeks behind to current as I have not felt like recording. Camera was dead and full memory full as I said I needed to transfer files. So NO there was no camera in my hand. Next GoPros and other action cams don't do night sky shots and just stop and think when do you hardly ever see me record at night. rare.
But you didn't try to film them because you don't film your everyday life right,. WTH Dude.. come on.. stop it.. Where's the footage ? We call them stars !

It seems that quite a few people in your area do not believe it.
They should go out when it gets dark and look for themselves. They might get lucky.

Hi james
You've achieved so much this year and hope next yr you can do more of the same n stay healthy , all of you....Hope xmas is a blast for you...

That reminds me back in the 80s I remember a story about sighting of aliens somewhere in laguna. And so yes I believe they exist.
Is it possible you saw the Aurora Borealis?
It’s happening in Florida too. I have pics of them. It’s hundreds of them all through the sky. 🛸
Merry Christmas from a new subscriber :)
Welcome and Merry Christmas to you!
James, I saw a rechargeable brush on Facebook and Lazada with a 4-meter adjustable handle to run over the solar panels wet or dry
Were they red and green lights going in all directions with sharp moves?
Thanks jamea
It's a bit scary for sure not knowing what is going on with those drones. 🤞🙏 Hopefully nothing too negative will come of it.
Advanced Merry Christmas to you and Melinda and all of your family there as well. 🎄🎉☃️🎁
We're in Texas now btw spending X-Mas with our two children who have settled here.

Saw a TH-cam vid from the filipines just what you described it didn’t say what part of the filipines
It's best to forget what you saw. you may not encounter it ever again. and will never get the answer you seek. for thousands of years they appear to mankind and disappear for a long time again.
Merry Christmas from Texas!!
And to you, Merry Christmas! 🎅
From the volcano smoke it has iron in it
Merry Christmas guys! James, how much for 1 Month stay? Thanks, Joe.
contact me privately via email that is in video description
My gawd, man. Just how many would you say you saw up there? 😮
hundreds and any and every direction. above and below the clouds moving moving and stopping. No flashing light like that NJ stuff and a glow, no streak , no tail, We all seen it.

“Existence of US military drone task force in Philippines revealed” as reported on SAN (Straight Arrow News)
Hey James and Mel, sure makes a person wonder what the lights were. I have experienced strange lights years ago. You guys have a Merry Christmas 🎄.
I have video while in nueva ecija 4 days ago. Crazy zipping lights. No way its an airplane. Where you are, james, ilo ilo had a massive number. The lights are found on youtube video. Crazy. Its everywhere.
Not a drone. This is new anti gravity tech.
Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Xmas!!😊
mate your such a down to earth guy. you deserve all the success.
Your videos showing the construction are so informative. if your not starting a contracting business (in your wife's name of corse) you really should. you have a team of skilled guys and I'm sure your services will be in demand.
keep it up mate 👍
Given the number and the altitude of the lights and the presence of multiple aircraft, You could very well have been witnessing an exercise.
This was EVERYWHERE and at all levels. You would had to see to appreciate.
@TexasFilipino I wish I did. Any rough estimate on the quantity? The reason I mention that is because automated drone "wingman" are actively being developed so that a single manned aircraft can control vest numbers of robot aircraft.

Merry Christmas to you too.
Hi from Pennsylvania. I know you're videos are a few days behind but we are going thru the same shot here. And over NJ too. Wth is goin on
Maybe the lights were Chinese Lanterns? But if they were "zipping" around probably not. I know I'd be putting up a camera to record every night, lol.

Just in time for Mt Kanlaon volcano eruption 😅
could it have been drone formation flying they have some good displays all over the world
How many UFO/UAP lights in the sky do you estimate were up there?
11:40 your exactly right
James, maybe you need to install a automatic sprinkler system to wash your solar panels .😁✌🏼
Its all drone from China bro :) :) they want to make the same resort as yours :) haha Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Munks Coffee Shop & Resto
Big brother is watching. Bet you didn't know you had an elder Chinese big brother
I think you saw the Southern Taurid meteor shower hits peak activity this week, didn't see it here because it was overcast. PS, Banca is looking good. Just sayin
Drones from the USA.
Watch Dr. Steven Greer
Ok
You’re frightening me…….🚀🚀🚀
Stop it…..🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸
If it was on or around the 15th Dec it would most probably be the Geminids meteor shower
I know what a meteor shower looks like. Lifetime star gazer
James, maybe you need to hire more people.🤔👍🏼
I presume you heard the same thing happened in Jersey they reckon they are drones.
What you were seeing were some aircraft mixed in with Starlink satellites. At the time it was dark (1AM) but further east of you there was the gray line of sunrise approaching. Depending on clarity of the atmosphere, cloud cover the sunlight will begin passing over head to your location, all the Starlink satellites will begin to reflect that light as they are in direct sunlight and globally there are thousands of them up there. Any aircraft flying at altitude can also be reflecting sunlight.
James was describing them to go through clouds. Satellites are above the clouds.
How did satellites get below cloud cover?
So your just gonna tell me what I was seeing without you knowing what I was seeing. Did you know I worked many years of my life in the satellite industry? Do you know I am the first person to enter the Philippines with an starlink satellite before they was ever offered here? I shake my head at how Im told what WE saw.
could be alien scouts
While you’re telling this story I’m being distracted by this alien purple blinking light behind you.
We've had sightings on the west coast as well ,those in, so called charge ,are full of cow sh*t ,period. ❤
👍
I look forward to our new alien overlords, even if they are here to harvest our brains. Can't be worse than what we have now.
My son keeps seeing the same shit .. but he’s in New Jersey
It was Debree from a rocket launch from China. they put another satellite into space the other day.
why no video sir? even an iphone will do
In the end times things like this will happen..
Greetings earth 🌎 citizens. Are you ready for galactic inclusion. Join the starship troopers! The galaxy needs you .👽
So you are renting rooms ?
Watch the end of the video. Shows it all.
Stars lol
Clean the ash ASAP it's extremely corrosive
Hard ass rains since cleaned it. THANKS for heads up
Cool Beans, Spiritual or Aliens, or Military. World might want to pull together if its a direct Threat,
That's what our overlords have planned. If 'they' could come up with something so threatening, ie, climate change, aliens, etc., the whole world would agree to a one world govt, and take orders from the UN.
Please don’t say drones everywhere lol
Not sure i would look to IRAN as a country with Great Air DEFENSE. IsRyeEl ,(joke), walked all over them with out a scratch
I never said they had great air defense so I dont get your comment or you reading into to that.
Freaky.
Psyop
We can't handle the Truth..
HOW TO SERVE MAN ... COOK BOOK ?
Chinese drones
